Hi All!
I am currently a Senior Software Engineer(Backend) with 4 YOE. My current CTC is 21LPA (All Fixed) with additional Yearly bonus. I got a call from Google (Pune/Bangalore/Remote) for Software Engineer - Backend. I have the following doubts but any insights are welcome -
1. Does the lower designation offered make any difference?
2. Kinda ambiguous, but what kind of hike or ballpark pay can I expect?
3. Any similar interviews experiences or focus areas I should prepare for?
How is the hike and bonus guys

That's a commendable attitude, and you do make a really good point. I had one layoff early on that really set me back. But another one, years later, was a blessing in disguise. It hurt at the time, but it was better for me. Sometimes we need a kick to get us into motion.
My situation isn't a layoff, it's a flat out firing. I struggled with leaving my way because I didn't want to abandon the relationships I built. I loved what I did, I just wasn't a fan of the people around me. However, what they did to me was actually FOR me. I'm less stressed (even though I worry about paying bills), and I have a chance to find something better.
Happy for you! That's great 😊
Yes indeed! This is a culture that we would never be comfortable with, “Lay-offs”. I had a few in my career but it looks like the more they kept coming, the higher and better my career is flying. For instance, I spent 10 years working for one company, the amount of raises I got was equivalent to $3.50. After my last layoff, through griefs and pains, I found myself negotiating ~$10.00 more per hour. Remember it took me 10 years to get $3.50 raises total. My goodness! the psychological impact that comes with layoffs is huge and no one wants to go through it. If you got laid off, it’s not the end, better opportunities are awaiting for you. I would love to hear some testimonies.
